Hiking Westwing Mountain

Because I pinky swore to Cierra, I took her for a hike today, I'm guessing we did about 3 miles. I could not ask for a better hiking partner in Cierra, she is awesome.Westwing's lichen covered rocks.

We've been up that zig-zag trail a time or two. I thought the shadows in the cave made it look like a heart.

Can you see my little billie goat? She's fearless on the rocks, yet she always waits and watches for me.

I've always liked this dished rock.

The only flower I could find on the mountain.

Cierra, over-looking our neighborhood.

I asked Cierra to take my picture but she said something about not having any thumbs... I don't know. Maybe she was telling me I looked hot, dusty, sweaty and my ponytail was askew and it was best not to take my picture.

My dog in a crack.

Looking to see if I'm coming...

Looking West-ish.

It was about 80+ degrees while we hiked. A little warm for her but we carry a lot of drinking water.

Looking North/Northwest-ish.

This is a bad photo but I liked the contrast between the dark and light.

"Everyone has oceans to fly, as long as you have the heart to do it.

Is it reckless? Maybe.

But what do dreams know of boundaries?"

Prayer of Saint Francis Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.Where there is hatred, let me sow love.Where there is injury, pardon.Where there is doubt, faith.Where there is despair, hope.Where there is darkness, light.Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;to be understood, as to understand;to be loved, as to love.For it is in giving that we receive.It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
